Steampunk and its growing following

[sealion]

I seem to have "run out of steam" for sewing projects, too. I still haven't gotten around to shopping for fabric let alone making the skirt I want for WC. I will have plenty to wear without it but nothing "fancy" for Saturday night.
I did work on a kindasorta steamy project today- I am taking apart some old watches so that I can put the teeny tiny gears into some cast resin eyechips for one of my Blythe dolls. (Um...yeah...I just got a second doll and all of my creative energy has gone to working on them. :whome: )

Congratulations on the new addition, Sealion.  Judging from your faire SP portrait, you'll look bee-yootiful on Saturday night.

I found some really cute cloths, some in plus size that would work great for Steampunk http://www.chinatowner.com

More pics of NEW THINGS! I made them a few weeks ago but just now am getting around to putting pics on my comp...

These are more pieces to the steampunk outfit ive posted pics of before (vest jacket and bloomers)

overskirt, bustle thing...I don't know what to call it for sure


sideish view of same thing


sadly the pics don't do ^that^fabric^ justice...its a beautiful brocade with a victorian damask pattern on it in golds and rusts on a black background...

waist cincher front


waist cincher back


canvas backed leather^

I'm super happy with my stuff so far and can't wait to wear it!

I am totally digging your waist cincher and the cut of that overskirt is rather fetching.  I'm curious what you will put on those legs under it.  Short blousy bloomers and stockings perchance?

[Taffy Saltwater]

Can hardly wait to see this in an ensemble.  Love the cincher - great work!

[ArielCallista]

Well Grov,you were right! bloomers it is! I need to find some good stockings tho... this is the rest of the outfit so far. Just gotta collect up a bunch of accessories now.

Your skirt is gorgeous, AC, and that cincher just rocks!!!  I love the wrap effect you've got going, and that fabric does look really yummy...

We are all just gonna Steam up the place!!!

I'm sad that the Steampunk invasion at TRF is on Halloween. I've had plans up here for halloween since like last halloween. Plus I found out I have to work!

[Grov]

Well damn you for impressing us with your work only to leave us wanting. And by us, I mean me.

I hope you can muster a full dress pic for us when the time is right. Right? Pwease.

Well Greg and I are planning to hit up The Church (goth club in dallas) tomorrow night in Steampunk. We're both missing a bunch of accessories but I want to do it anyway. We're finally gonna be getting dog tags...dog tags=no cover! WOOO! That'll save us a ton of money in the long run! I'll make sure we get a couple pics and I'll post them this weekend

[Rani Zemirah]

We used to have a goth club here in OKC called The Church, housed in a defunct Episcopal church, but it was recently sold and now it's Club Purgatory, a heavy/death metal club...  LOL  Still full of goths, they're just death-head gothpunks, now.

[Grov]

OH, get pics of his gear too.  I'm guessing he'll have stuff I can more easily emulate if I like it.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is on the Hallmark Movie Channel - some original steaminess.
